Episode Synopsis "Teaching, What a Revolution!"

There was a massive revolution afoot in Italian education in the 1960s and 70s. Some teachers introduced a new way of being in the classroom and teaching. Mario Lodi took his pupils to fields and factories, Don Milani opened a school in Barbiana where you learn by doing, Alberto Manzi went on TV and taught adults to read and write. With The Grammar of Fantasy and his teaching approach, Gianni Rodari brought a new vision of education. In that time of great change, these teachers gave space to children and gave voice to their rights. With their educational choices and techniques, they made their experience something to pass down to everyone and changed the history of teaching in Italy forever. The creator of this episode is Alex Corlazzoli, with interviews with Luciana Bertinato, Rosellina Archinto, Alessandra Falconi and Vanessa Roghi.
